From lager lovers to doppelbock devotees, beer aficionados flock to Pangaea for its 28 taps, which pour everything from the Allagash Curieux, a bourbon barrel-aged tripel, to the Delirium Tremens, a Belgian strong ale, as well as a constant selection of six sour ales. The food offerings at this lively tavern (which maintains a communal vibe with oversize wood bench tables and an intimate, rounded bar) hold up to the hearty beer list—try the buttery, chewy pretzel with melty beer cheese; the house-smoked bratwurst sausage with spicy Dijon and housemade sauerkraut; or the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich on a brioche bun with house-made pickles and habanero aioli. Pass under the dining room’s stone archway to the attached retail shop, where you’ll find over 200 bottles and cans of specialty suds from the likes of The Rare Barrel and Santa Rosa’s Russian River Brewing Co.
